So Fungoed.

Ryan Madson loves to hit. How do I know? Because Shane Victorino fucking told me so. So I was thrilled when I got to see my close and personal friend step into the box in the ninth inning of tonight’s game against the Nats while in the middle of a four out save. How’d he do at the plate? Well… not nearly as well as he did on the mound. Madson struck out to end the inning with two men in scoring position.

More importantly, Madson got his and the Phillies’ first save of the season recording four outs, two singles, and two Ks all in just thirteen pitches.

Oh, and Polanco crossed the plate three times, Howard homered again, and Hamels got the win while raising my blood pressure. That’s about as much of a game recap as you’ll ever get out of me.

Brief Programming Note: There’s a new entry to the incredibly exclusive club that is Philadelphia Phillies blogs. Go check out Chicks Dig the Long Ball, they already have a ton of content and I know there’s way more on the way.

I’ll get to Halladay in a minute because first I must comment on how horrible an experience this was for my ears/brain. Mike Morgan and Brian Jordan headed the broadcast team last night for Atlanta’s CSS station. Now, if you watched on MLB Network like most of us had to you were forced to listen to the garbage being spewed from their mouths. Also someone should tell these guys it’s HALLaday not Holliday, I seriously can’t stand that. I know I ruined a couple of people’s nights when I sent this food for thought out through tweet. But enough about these assholes, follow me ATJ for what happened with the Phils.
